The CCIP BGP series was designed to take network professionals beyond the basics of enterprise routing and into the complex world of Service Provider (SP) environments. BGP is the "language of the internet," and Jeremy Cioara’s approach focused on making this "slowest" and largest routing protocol digestible for engineers at all levels.
: A deep dive into BGP attributes (Weight, Local Preference, AS-Path, etc.) and how BGP calculates the "best" route. If you are looking to get certified today,
